Tool due diligence

An advisory service

A structured evaluation of a governance, risk, compliance, audit, or AI tool before your organization commits to it. The evaluation covers what the tool does against what it is sold as doing, the control environment of the vendor, and what happens to your data when the relationship ends.

How the engagement runs

  1. Requirements. What the tool must do, separated from what would be pleasant.
  2. Vendor review. Third party assurance reports read in full, including complementary user entity controls, the period covered, and any bridge letter. Subprocessors, hosting regions, and retention terms reviewed.
  3. Functional evaluation. Demonstration scripted against your requirements rather than the vendor's, with your own data where the vendor permits it.
  4. Exit assessment. Export format, completeness of export, and what your records look like the day after cancellation.
  5. Recommendation. A written position with the reasoning visible.

What you receive

  • Requirements matrix with each vendor scored against it
  • Third party assurance report review with exceptions and complementary user entity controls noted
  • Exit and portability assessment
  • Written recommendation with the basis stated
